From the recording Lookin' In from the Outside
Lyrics
Drifter.
Now listen, you don’t wanna hear another bedtime story
About the prince and the princess
A singalong from the same old repertory
The sign over my head
It’s been there all the time, but you never read it
A stone, that’s what I am deep in my heart
Oh, don’t lose yourself in me, ‘cause I’m a drifter, yeah
Oh, don’t lose yourself in me, ‘cause I’m a drifter, yeah
Now why, why you keep coming to my hideaway at Danger Falls
The place is gloomy, there’s no escape for anyone
On this side of the bedroom wall
The sign over my door
It’s been there all the time, it says “ I can’t help the poor”
A stone, that’s what I am, deep in my heart
Oh, don’t lose yourself in me, ‘cause I’m a drifter, yeah
Oh, don’t lose yourself in me, ‘cause I’m a drifter, yeah
Only little children still believe in fairytales
Full of stereotypes of faithful wives
Of one-eyed giants that never fail
Good and bad will make a match
From now until the last taboo
Didn’t they ever tell you that Little Red Riding Hood
Devoured the Wolf...
